TAC consisted of a preliminary round that ran over the course of a
week and involved roughly 80 games for each of the 22 participants.
The top 12 finishers were invited to the semi-finals and finals in
Boston, MA on July 8th. Since agents and conditions were constantly
changing, and since only 13 games were played by each agent in the
semi-finals and finals, the competition does not provide a controlled
testing environment. In this section, we describe ATTac-2000's success in
the tournament, but also present empirical results of controlled tests
that demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of ATTac-2000's adaptive
strategy.
